   Recognizing the 91st annual meeting of The Garden Club of America.

Whereas The Garden Club of America is holding its 91st annual meeting in 
        Washington, DC April 24 through 27, 2004;
Whereas The Garden Club of America has 195 member clubs in 40 States and the 
        District of Columbia, representing more than 17,000 members;
Whereas since its founding in 1913, The Garden Club of America has become a 
        recognized leader in the fields of horticulture, conservation, historic 
        preservation, and civic improvement, and an influential organization in 
        the protection of America's environment; and
Whereas in our Nation's Capital, The Garden Club of America was instrumental in 
        the founding of the National Arboretum, the development of the Archives 
        of American Gardens at the Smithsonian Institution, and the creation and 
        installation of the Butterfly Habitat Garden which now graces The 
        National Mall at the National Museum of Natural History: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That Congress commends The Garden Club of America for the many 
contributions it has made in our Nation's Capital and in communities 
across the United States, and sends its best wishes on the occasion of 
its 91st annual meeting in Washington, DC, April 24 through 27, 2004.
